Dancing rs. kissing.

barc seen thousands of people gatL-
cred at Rocky Point day after day in
summer, with dancing going on all day
long, and never word or act that I
should be unwilling to have young
person see, writes Col. Higginson in
Harper's Bazaar; and [ have seen at
country church gatherings, where dane
ing would have been thought sin,
romping and rudeness such as no Young
girl ought to take part in. In view of
of this there is something very curious
IN the way in which revivalists like
the Rev Gam Jones lavish their indig-
nation on the less evil and ignore the
greater. 81 have been hunting for
dancing Christian for many years."
said Sam Jones in late address, "and
never found one, for I used to run
with that sort of cattle before | was
converted. don't want any man
to cut figure on ball room floor
With his arm around my wife or daugh-
ter, and don't believe you do. Puri.
ty--purity is what we want" But if
the contract of the arm is Objectionable
IN the dance, where there is no kissing,
does contact become purer when it is
the prelude to scuffle and smack?
Are young girls lips less sacred than
her gloved hand or her waistl [ con-
Tess to surprise sometimes at the
composurc with which mothers can sit
IN ball room and see their daughters
revolving in the arms of men whom
they know to be coarse, if not vile; but
the contact is comparatively slight and
temporary, whereas the thought of
having received kiss from such per-
son would be to truly refined woman
an ignominy which the waters of the
Atlantic ocean could not easily wash
away.
To those who believe it possible or
desirable for very young people to live
without social intercourse, or to live
wholly by religious and intellectual
comranionship, 1 have nothing to say
except to express disagreement with
their belief. If all that our youths
and maidens can reasonably demandi is
prayer met ting or a course in San
scrit, be it so. But if they are to have
social amusements together we must
consider whichis is the most innocent;
and if the choice lies practically in our
country towns between kissing and
dancing, can any person seriously
doubt which is bestl

poets were never better at this time of
year. In few places, especially in
Morrow and Wasco counties, the loss
of sheep was considerable during the
February storms but not greater than
usual. There have been no fail ures of
stock men and there will be nc dimi-
mutton, either in wool product OF the
beef supply. The range is now fresh
everywhere.
For grain fields the winter in the
Columbia river basin has been perfect.
Shows fell early and kept the ground
in fine condition during the frosts
which followed; and later, melting
gradually, sank deep into the soil which
Is moist TO a greater depth than at any
time since the spring of 1874. But
while the farmers are thus assured of
a good harvest, have no hope of prof
liable year unless there shall be re-.
duction in freight rates. Six dollars
per ton from Walla Walla to Portland
IS too much. II is mere than the car
rlage is worth; it is more than the pro-
ducers can pay. It leaves nothing at
all to the farmer If it had been be-
leved last fall that the six-dollar rate
would be maintained, three fields out
of five would be fallow. The Oregon
Railway d Navigation company should
reduce It's charge On wheat. Reduction
IS demanded alike by its own interest,
the interest of the country and the in
terest of Portland.
In the Willamette valley crop pros
poets were never better. Here, too,

The frost OF February, and they are
now in fine condition. The extension
OF the Oregon Pacific to Albany carries
competition into the heart of the Will
lamette valley and to all points north
and south accessible to the river. This
it is hoped will, add several cents per
bushel to the price of wheat. .-Ex.

THE STATE CONTRACT Law

1t is reported that the next
Ormsby county Grand Jury will
probably make thorough lnvestl-
ration of the eases where State
contracts were let to officers Ii
this case Wells Drury and several
Carson City officials will be brought
to the mark. 1t is certain thing
that the law il very plain IN regard
to officials taking contracts for the
State or county, aud If 1t has heen
violated the culprits should be pun
ished Lyon County Times.
If the law has been violated, and
the proofs of its violation are ample,
that the offenders ought to be
dealt with according to law. no citi-
zen will deny. The APPEAL, how
ever, believes that the persons who
accepted the State contracts ylo-
lated the law through ignorance.
Dir. Muller, a City Trustee, fur
nished some supplies to the State.
and the LEGISLATURE declined TO pay
the bill, under Section l7lO of the
Compiled Laws. The fact that
Muller furnished the supplies and
did not get the money was consid-
cred punishment enough,
In the case of Drury, he received
$3.50 for State contract while act
ing as Deputy Secretary OF State,
and since a recent Supreme Court
decision that the same law applies
to deputies as we'll as principals, he
also comes within the scope of the
Statute. It has been stated by his
friends that he realizes the illegal
ity of the proceeding since his at
tention has been called to 1t, and
proposes to turn back the $3.50 into
the State Treasury No doubt this
will be done as soon as he can
spare the money, after which no
good purpose can be served by a
criminal prosecution. The matter
has been sufficiently commented on
by the newspapers of the State to
deter anyone in the future from
similar transactions.

issue of the Farmers Review: Re-
ports from the principal winter wheat
growing states continue to be gener
ally favorable with the exception of
those from Illinois and Kansas. In Ill
inois some of the southern counties
report the fields as bare and the plant
looking poorly. The reports from
Missouri, covering thirteen counties,
are uniformly favorable. OF the six
teen Ohio counties making reports
this week, three report wheat looking
poorly, namely, Athens, Noble and
Trumbull counties. The remaining
counties report the outlook as fair to
good.

Lo, the Poor Indian!

TAHLBoUAH, |. r., Jan. 31.-lndi-
ans all over the Territory are greatly
exercised over the passage by con-
gress Of the land in severalty bill, and
claim that q most solemn treaty has
been violated. While the bill exempts
the Indians of the Territory in certain
words, nevertheless they greatly fear
the effects this measure will have
Numerous protests and petitions are
now pouring into Washington from
all parts Of the Territory to the In
dian delegates and others to do all they
can TO get the president to veto the
bill. They say that Indians cannot
and will not thrive upon allotted lands;
that the only hope of the In
dian is TO hold his lands in
common. Experience, they say,
has been dear lesson.
A very intelligent old Indian
said to newspaper representa-
tive, after hearing this bill had passed:
wont they never let us alone, as they
promised. To allot an Indian land is
simply to make beggar of him. We
have been promised this country I'M
molested as long as grass grows and
water runs, but it seems as if we are
destined to become roamers without
homes if congress don't let us alone as
we are. We have kept the faith, stood
up to our treaties and complied with
our solemn obligation to dot. Can
the United States congress or govern
ment say as much? Hardly, for they
legislate upon our rights the same as
il we were lot of cattle. In fact, we
are not looked upon as being as good
as the negroes were before the war.
Surely the whites fear not a retribu-
ton that is bound to come on them
sooner or later"

the newspapers published long ac-
counts of the crime. A Bohemian
sheet here had very graphic descrip-

at No. 10 Livingston street read the
report TO his wife, two children and
mother-in-law. lie is a weh-to-do me

listened to the account Of the Cabelek

to read it again. He went over it a
third time, and then she took the paper
to neighbors and had ii read twice
more. Next day she sent her mother
for yeast and took heavy dose of
Trough on Rats" and forced a dose of
the poison down her baby's throat.
When the old mother returned she
alarmed the neighborhood and doc
tors were called, but they came too
late. The mother died in great agony
and the child expired soon after. The
doctors kept the affair to themselves,
and the police did not learn of it until
yesterday.

Waco Cotton Mills to operate Amer
Long Idleness.

WACO, Jan. 31.-The cotton mills in
East Waco were built during the war
to assist in supplying the then much
needed cotton fabrics, and were then
run successfully and with profit to the
owners, but were closed by the federal
forces when they came into the state.
For several years these mills stood
idle, then parties from the north came
here and leased them, but for
some reason they have never
been paying investment. The first
parties who operated them after the
war failed; then others came, but they
likewise met the same fate. A few
days ago firm was formed of Messrs.
Dennis, Scoville and King, all Waco
gentlemen, with ample capital TO put
the enterprise on substantial basis.
This firm has leased the mills for a
term of years. To-day they will COM
mencc the manufacture yarns, Irvine,
etc. This enterprise will employ
twenty-five or thirty people, and it is
said will manufacture class of goods
equal to any manufactured in the
United States.
